Plantation Belize XO Single Cask Pineau des Charentes Finish

Not too many rum from Belize available around here. In Quebec where the state own SAQ runs the show, I'm quite sure only Plantation offers us some rums from this small Central America country.
This Single cask triple ageing limited edition (ouf!) was released last year and has become back order locally a few months ago.
Tasted a few times, this is quite voluptuous. Not sure if Belize, like neighbouring Guatemala, also produces their rum from sugar cane honey (evaporated vesou/ sugar cane juice) instead of molasses, but the result is a medium body, round mouth feel with some distinctive butterscotch and nuts aromas.
It basically tastes like Cracker Jack, with some subtle vegetable even garden like notes (pumpkin) that must be originating from the Pineau des Charentes cask finish.

Не столь сладкий, чтоб отнести его к десертным, но далеко не сухой, с лёгкой горчинкой и терпкостью, присутствуют солёные ноты, патока. 8/10

Although at 41° it shows some character and has some sweet finish like some of the Plantation Line. It shows some spiciness and some tropical fruit notes.
A great easy going rhum to start your rum tasting night!

Som altid er det en oplevelse af de gode med Plantation men denne X.O. Er nu super god.

A trully fantastic rum. Great aroma, great aftertaste, long finish, very frutty!

I like this rum a lot. Not quite abuelo centario or zacapa xo but not as expensive either. Interesting wine to choose for barrel storage, but it works really well.

A solid “9”

Schönes sattes Bernstein im Glas.
In der Nase dezente Noten von kandierten Früchten und leicht rauchig getoastetem Holz.
Im Gaumen ein angenehm warmes Mundgefühl, sehr elegant, sehr schön ausgewogen. Karamell, dunkle Schokolade, Gewürze und Holz sind die dominanten Aromen.
Im Abgang herrlich lang, Süssholz, Schokolade, reife Früchte...
Ein nicht so süsser Plantation Rum, ideal mit Freunden am Strand...

Beautiful full amber in the glass.
In the nose, subtle notes of candied fruit and slightly smoky toasted wood.
On the palate a pleasantly warm mouthfeel, very elegant, very well balanced. Caramel, dark chocolate, spices and wood are the dominant flavors.
In the finish wonderfully long, sweet wood, chocolate, ripe fruit ...
A not so sweet Plantation rum, great with friends on the beach ...

smells wonderful, strong woody taste, poor availability

saveur de banane,caramel cane à sucre et un peu de noix de coco belle finale

Rond, sucré, gout de banane et vanilla. Se boit tres bien
